Chronic kidney disease & mental health

Fingers crossed 🤞 for good results @Shaz51 💜

@Jynx , myself I think it will be the same results this time

my complications need adjusting but it is very hard to find a right balance because of the kidney disease

I hope it goes well @Shaz51 . I wonder if your gp could give you a care plan for a physiotherapist or osteopath while you're there... you can get 5 subsidised or bulkbilled appts.

A complex journey for you to navigate @Shaz51 but I'm glad you're getting good care and exploring your options. You're a bloody trooper I tell ya what!

On the list for a dietician @Dimity

Seeing the head doctor tomorrow so I will ask 😁

No harm in asking @Shaz51

Hello @Dimity , @Jynx , @Meowmy , @StuF , @Jacques , @tyme , @Former-Member , @The-red-centaur

Started on insulin injections yesterday by the doctor for my diabetes

Seeing the kidney specialist this Tuesday

And then the Doctor again on Thursday about my parathyroid levels

That's a big step @Shaz51, hope it works out . It always sounds complicated to me - all the monitoring and checking during the day. Fingers crossed your other issues are OK, and stay stable with the change.

aww @Shaz51 mum started injections too on the first of january, they are not too bad, what one are you on?

@Dimity , @Jacques 🙂

@Dimity , just fingers crossed 🤞 that the kidney specialist is happy with the change that the doctor did

@Jacques , not sure if I can say what the injections are but am just on 10 units a day so far and a diabetes medication as well

First injection last night and was not bad at all

How many units is your mum on ?
